Light Safer than Blinds.

Light is a better protection than any amount of barricades. Formerly, when men left their business places at night, they turned off the light and put up great shutters. To-day they have learned that their greatest safeguard against enemies is to pull back the blinds, and keep a bright light constantly burning. For years, many thought it necessary to defend the teaching of Jesus, when all that His teaching needed was the clear light of day so that men and women could see what it really was. It is pathetic to see the little hedges that some well-disposed persons have tried to build for the preservation of truth, when what is needed is only that lives be truly lived in the open. A lighthouse needs no one to convince people of its genuine character.—S. S. Times.
